I just wanted to say that I
am very excited to be a part of this event. The people at Habitat are great
to work with, and I am proud that Habitat has asked our company to
participate in the Builders Blitz for the second time. I am also excited
about the other builders who are participating in this event. They are all
excellent home builders, and it is fun to see everyone coming together to
make six deserving families homeowners. Every builder has demonstrated their
superior building skills and have all made the necessary progress needed to
make this a reality. I am proud to be working alongside these good men and
women.
Today is the fifth day we have been working on our home, and I'm glad to say
everything has gone on track without a hitch. This year's project has been
unbelievably smooth, and everyone has showed up and co
mpleted their portion of the
work on time and on schedule. These wonderful people have donated their time
and efforts for this great cause. I'm proud to say that all our material and
labor has been donated in kind thanks to the generosity of our vendors and
subcontractors. I hope that Habitat will continue to invite Home Creations
to participate in the Builders Blitz every time.
Thank you Habitat!

What a great beginning for everyone! Today was just as I thought it
would be - I was able to renew some old friendships and meet new people.
Everyone worked hard at the Southcreek Construction site. We finished at
4pm with house wrapped, windows in and roof ready to shingle. Tomorrow
shingles, plumbing, HVAC and electric. I want to thank all of the subs
working with use this week - Steve Lake and his great framing and
cornish crew, (S and L Woodworks), Innovative Plumbing, Mustang
Electric, Comfort Works and Trey with Mill Works. I especially want to
thank Keith Bonner, General Manager for Southcreek and Debbie and Al
Calyer, also with Southcreek Construction.
Thanks,

It’s been
almost two years and we are about to begin our second builder blitz. Two
years ago I couldn’t write anything, because I was scared to death. What did
I think I was doing - a small company such as ours attempting to build a
home for a beautiful family in only ONE WEEK. Am I crazy?!?!
That first
morning I turned the corner to see hundreds of people working together to
make a dream come true for several families. As the week progressed
the entire area had an incredible feel of hope and kindness. God really
blessed that week.
So, as we
start this fantastic journey again I ask for a special blessing on all of
us, that we will build these homes with that same hope and kindness as
before and God will again really bless this builder blitz.
HERE WE GO
AGAIN !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks,
Bob

The entire team at Ideal Homes is excited to get underway with the
2008 Builders Blitz. There seems to be an increased level of
excitement this year. Rarely does giving back to the community
align so well with our company mission, “Quality affordable homes
today and tomorrow.”
For us…the icing on the cake is the fact that this year’s home will
be LEED certified. In 1997, Ideal Homes constructed the first
affordable Energy Star certified home in America. Since that
time we’ve seen thousands of families become the lifestyle and
financial beneficiaries of owning an energy efficient and
environmentally friendly home. We’re proud to work with an
organization in Habitat that recognizes the quality of life a LEED
home can bring to its resident and the community at large.
The Central Oklahoma Habitat for Humanity is a truly remarkable
organization. It’s a great privilege to work with them.

It is
Thursday at 7:30 pm and I am feeling a little excited and anxious at the
same time. Spent the day calling all the subcontractors and
volunteers double checking that everyone is set to go. On paper
the schedule works, so now it is time to see what reality brings over
the next 7 days. I am so excited to be building this home for such
a great family and wonderful cause. It has been such a blessing to
see the excitment in Shareece Johnson; I can't wait to see her and her
children's faces when they get to walk into their brand new home......
which is only 8 days away!! Special thanks again to all my
subcontractors that build 4 Corners homes - without your generosity and
hard work we would not be able to make this family's dream come true.
Also a special thanks to the ladies (and gentleman) from Tee for the
Soul t-shirt shop in Edmond, for printing our t-shirts of "Hope."
Looking forward to Saturday morning at 7:00 am!

morning.

We’re
excited to begin work shortly on our 2nd building
blitz home. It’s hard to believe that two years have passed
since we completed our first Habitat home in June 2006. Next
week at this time our home will be complete, and we’ll be
preparing for the dedication on Saturday morning.
Thank you,
Habitat, for coordinating this worthwhile effort once again.
All the planning is about to skyrocket into action. Get
ready Hope Crossing!
